How Can We Help?

New Approaches to Cancer is a UK registered
charity that has been running for over 30 years. Started by two doctors
and two healers, we provide a free nationwide referral service, offering
information on a wide range of gentle therapies that can and do work
alongside the conventional medical treatment now available for cancer
patient care.

More about us and our approach

New Approaches to Cancer promotes the benefits of complementary therapies and holistic
treatment for cancer patients and their carers. We provide an information and
referral service, directing people to their nearest sources of help through a
network of support groups and practitioners.

The body can be treated conventionally with drugs
and surgery, but it also needs nourishment from a healthy diet, providing a
proper balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals to fight the cancer and
rebuild. There are also over 250 complementary therapies which can help boost
and strengthen the immune system.

Treating the mind is something that conventional
medicine often ignores in the battle against cancer. The brain after all
controls many physical bodily functions. Adopting a positive approach helps
stack the odds in your favour. Research of breast cancer patients for example
showed that those having a 'fighting spirit' improved their chances of survival
by an amazing 265% !!! It is our aim that more and more cancer sufferers should
be aware of this positive advantage.

Life and death situations inevitably involve
questions of faith. Those whose lives are touched by cancer are rarely unmoved
on a spiritual level. Cancer is not selective of faith. Everyone is vulnerable
whether Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu, or any other religion. However cancer
often expands the spiritual aspect, allowing a deeper understanding. Healing is available for those who seek it.

By involving yourself in your treatment and
adopting a positive self help approach you can be involved 100% of the time in
combating cancer. If you get ten minutes with your consultant every three months
what do you do in between?
